What are Limiting Beliefs?

Each of us believes in many things. Maybe you believe in God, maybe you believe that the universe is eternal, maybe you believe that the sun will shine tomorrow morning.

You most certainly have beliefs about yourself: You might believe that you are a talented artist or a good golfer or a lovable person. But you most certainly also have negative beliefs about yourself: You might believe that you are too fat or that you do not have enough education to earn much money or that you are not beautiful enough to find a lover. These are your Limiting Beliefs!

And we all have them! Without exception! You just have to “listen” to your self talk going on in your head! Is it always positive? I bet it is not. There will often be statements like “This won’t work”, “I am too stupid” or “If only I were smarter”.

How do Limiting Beliefs lead to Self Sabotage?

Think about it! If you really believe that you are not beautiful enough to find a lover, you will most likely stop looking for one. If you really believe that you are not educated enough to find a good job, you will most likely stop applying for the job you would like. This is the first step of Self Sabotage.

It might even go further: Let’s assume you believe that you are not educated enough to get the job of your dreams. And for some reason (maybe your father, some friend or “fate” opened the opportunity for you) you DO get this job. If your Limiting Belief (not being educated enough) is strong enough, you will subconsciously be forced into actions that lead to your losing this job after some time. Maybe you will make stupid mistakes (mistakes that are untypical of you), maybe you will unconsciously provoke situations that lead to your being late at work nearly every morning, who knows!

Limiting Beliefs lead to Self Sabotage! That is a fact! This is not a character defect, it is just the way it is! And you can only do one thing about it:

ERASE YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS!
